Thanks for the help. I still have the problem. I can select a sentence with three clicks. I can then delete that sentence. But I still cannot go back to the previous sentence or to the beginning of selected sentence. In Word, I select sentence (by F8 three time), then <esc> to turn off extension mode, then I can left arrow to go to beginning or right arrow to go to next.
I also do not know how to build the three clicks done with a mouse into a macro. I will try to record my actions and edit the Basic for Writer to see how it handles that command/language.
